Review:
Slipping from travel writing mode to investigative journalism, he also digs into the darker side of the story, reporting on the banana growers funding Colombian terrorism, the scale of international fruit smuggling, the struggle to conserve biodiversity... Gollner's passion for the subject bursts through in every line. The zingy facts just keep coming.
